Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gristle McThornbody (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tursunovich Tokhtakhounov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McThornbody kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Tame. Tokhtakhounov has chosen Ministry - Thieves as his entrance music. Tursunovich Tokhtakhounov told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Manoel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Musashimaru Koyo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Manoel might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hino do Flamengo. Koyo is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: "Tengoku Kara Kaminari" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole . Antonio Manoel has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.
